Guild Wars - War in Kryta Survey | ArenaNet
Lord Dagon
also told them that they needed to do WiK in a non "6 party and lvl 12 henchmen area" that was waht really annoyed me with wik.

I really think Anet did good this time. We actually got a survey to share our opinions, great!
About the questions in the survey.
First of all, I think WiK was great, a bit short, but it's not a whole campaign afterall - just lore stuff.
Secondly, I think we will see much of the stuff soon, like similar stories in Cantha and Elona.
7 Heroes!!!! YES YES YES. All I can say. As others said, I like to play without relying on others and be able to take a break whenever I want to.
Also, 7 heroes would give us more creativity with builds it would be possible to solo everything (which is good since everything is META now).
7 heroes would let me do whatever I wish to do, whenever I wish to do it.
Thank you Anet, thank you.

GIVE PEOPLE CHOICE. What's wrong with that? If you want a weapon, good for you! I'd like something different.

However, since its a bit late and the next beyond update should be out by earily november, I'm guessing its too late to take the fb into acct.

I do lots of HM/Books/Dungeons/Vanquishing on a Ranger and a Rit. NEITHER runs a Discordway or Sabway or any other "way" from PVX Wiki. And I just DELETED my long post, in deference to INde...  |
If you want to take it in that direction than obviously people combining 2 over powered hero builds is going to mean trouble for the difficulty of pve but who cares.

I did take the survey. I only made comments on the sections that needed to be stressed.
I agree with the lvl 12 henchmen. Did the content on Hard mode to make up for the level difference.
I agree with the weapon part. As a special reward, I personally would like to have armor with my Guild Emblem on it. Sometimes the cape is a little too much.

Give me a reward that MEANS something, like a HOM statue. I don't need another silly weapon. Yes, I said that in the survey. |

I need replacement Golem manuals as I discarded mine except for a few to even do this.I will say this this it sure messing up LA to Sanctum Cay Runs and what if you are helping a low lvl guildie out with all those 20s.

So yes, their rewards can be improved upon.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to the community and I hope this continues throughout the rest of GW and into GW2.

I like the idea of using Surveys. Kudos, Anet 
HawkofStorms
The problem with weapons (which I voiced in the comments) was that in 5 years of playing, I (and probably most people) already got all the weapons I really need/want.

I like how you tell me not to discuss 7 heroes and then go on to do so yourself. Well done

If you don't want 8 player parties with cons and stuff then I'd suggest looking for a new game, since it doesn't look like they're going to remove cons and pve skills.
Couldn't really care less what does that make you, you can think that it does make you a snowflake.
Psst- I was not talking about 7 heroes but about the possibility of hiding the results of the survey. Nice reading comprehension.

Too much contradiction in this thread... Why not just go with Emily's point:
Keep it CONCISE. No TL;DR rants or copy pastas about 7 hero parties.
For the record: I didn't even say whether I was against them or for them. ...and I'm not going to either.
But I will say: Eve + Mehnlo = infinite Orison spamming and that trumps a bad PuG "human" monk any day
Also: I didn't like running back to Invader Ego everytime I wanted another round of Artillery while H4xx0rz mobs magically spawned directly behind me.

This clearly shows that cons+pve skills+human co-ordination are still A LOT SUPERIOR to any heroes AI in the game.
Like I have said before, the biggest advantage heroes have over humans are that they are RELIABLE, they are always good in certain things (you dont have to stand in a desolated town to LFG for hours) and terrible in most others, but they suck in a predictable way. However, humans players are still a lot more efficient and powerful than heroes. Don't confuse reliability with efficiency.

Yarr, Heros shall burn! No for hero team!

I wish I remembered to put I wish we got a HoM reward in at least a monument thing but preferably the weapons being HoMable.

Uhmmm o yea nice survey..

In light that this was asking for feedback for WiK, for those players coming in later, or for those of us bringing multiple characters or accounts through later, it may be very difficult to find even a partner for Battle for Lion's Arch.
Anyways I made my submission, generally being greedy, asking for more content faster, and that the Oppressor skins are nice but I don't have room for more stuff that's essentially equivalent to what I already have, and that the green drop rate for WM greens was frustrating.

You shouldnt need a partner for BLA NM. It really wasn't that hard. BLA HM on the other hand has thus far required a partner, but that's purely for bragging rights.

An awesome opportunity for customer feedback - and I can't wait for the feedback feedback!
Thanks, ANet

7 heros YES YES YES.
Oh yeah the people that say that the 7 hero people are loners are just stupid.
I want 7 heros to try out new teambuilds.

Full hero team sounds good, I honestly have no interest in making a team with random obnoxious strangers.
I know a small minority is against it, I just do not see why. The argument is that it will kill off "pugging" but surely those that like to pug will still do so and those that dislike it will have a decent option for a change. If I was one for making groups I think I would rather have someone that wants/likes to "pug" rather than someone that is doing it with me because they have no choice.
Everyone should rather look to the future, Guild Wars 2 will effectively kill "pugging" anyway, the sudden movement of players to Guild Wars 2 makes this a certainty. So why not plan ahead and create the option for full hero teams for the few that remain or still casually play, they will need it.

Heroes > henchmen hands down, it's not even about running retarded builds. It's about not having the henchies drop down dead at the first sight of Firestorm, and about customising the heroes to the mission/area you are doing instead of accepting generic henchies.

Would be nice to be possible "1 man" UW/DoA etc because cap on heroes was raised to 7.

And yes I did enter my thoughts in the survey.

First of all, I'm glad Anet still takes interest in what we think (I hope).
The only downside I see of the new content was the high difficulty of The Battle for Lions Arch, considering it can't be done with heroes & henchmen only. Sure, it's doable right now, when you can still find PUGs, but will be harder and harder in the future, while the content gets older.
When I did it on my first character, was pretty easy to get into a party. However, if I'd start now the WiK content, finding a party would be difficult, if not impossible, for the preliminary quests. Even finding a party for BLA is hard these days. Luckily, I'm in the right guild, but still...
I think that the possibility to take a full heroes party could easier the task, or even getting level 20 henchmen in Normal Mode (with improved AI?).
Considering the rewards at the end of WiK, I was happy with what I got, but I would be even happier if I could add the Oppressor weapons to my Hall of Monuments.

i'm kinda bad at the game itself thanks to my handicaps (said this before) and thats 1 point why i like 7 heroes
as i said, i'm bad at the game, especially WiK, but that doesnt mean i dont like it
also i voted for the parts where they ask about whether we like or dont like such contents, with contents and stories and such (dont remember how the questions were)
and i voted for good of course, as i like more contents like WiK
i also put something about me liking 7 heroes for some reasons at the question about full hero teams
last part wasnt bad, as it's about the survey
anyway, i really like it (the survey) and this happened just before i lost all of my hope about full hero teams
meaning it came just in time for me
not only the full hero team made me happy, i also, as i said, like the questions about WiK, and hope they add full hero team, so i can do the next content with heroes some easier, and try to make nice builds myself, as i think discord gets boring :P
i just hope there will be a part of such content in maguuma jungle, i love that place

Like most of the posts above I completed the survey..
Did say the Battle for Lions Arch can pose a problem if other pugs not available.../guildies ..
Just to reiterate the last post I made on 7 heros Regina jumped in and put an end to the speculation of having 7...lets see if it happens again
other than that did say the content was good and perhaps looking forward to the link to Cantha with ..yes another hero discussed there..that will make 27 in total we have

7 heroes is very unlikely right now.
But remember it has not been completely discarded.
It's just that irght now it would be actually bad rather than good, considering the number of people that plays right now.
But when GW2 goes out, most of the people will move there, but people will be still buying the game, since being sold in Steam guarantees that (Games over 25 years old are actually still being sold in Steam, and still being bought!).
So, if they ever add 7 heroes, it should be around GW2's release.
I wrote that myself in the survey.

And yes, I do lots of HM.
My dream team:
Tahlkora (Smite/Heal)
Acolyte Jin (Volley/Daze)
Melonni (Reaper's Sweep Scythe)
Jora (Hundred Blades or Dragon Slash)
Hayda (Spear/Buff/Cautery Sig sometimes)
Gwen (Panic/Psychic Instability Interrupter)
Xandra (Prot/Heal)
I want to build synergies, try out weird ideas...

I like taking surveys for games in ongoing support. I hope we'll see some more in the future of GW1 & 2.
